EPISODE 5: Impact of Covid-19 on US-China Relations with Mark Cohen and Thomas Chia

The business landscape was complicated by the US-China Trade War that began in 2018, posing new challenges for IP Counsel. The emergence of Covid-19 late last year has further complicated the landscape. Mark Cohen and Thomas Chia discuss the impact of Covid-19 on US-China relations and globalization, what we can expect on the global IP licensing side, and how IP Counsel can stay up-to-date on Chinese IP law developments in light of the dearth of publicly available information.
